Baked Pears with Cranberry-Red Wine Glaze

Did you know that pears are Oregon’s state fruit? Here, Barbara combines them with cranberry juice (cranberries grow in southwest Oregon) and red wine (from the state’s Willamette Valley) in this simple yet spectacular dessert. Oh yes, and everything is finished off with ice cream (from Tillamook, on the west coast).Submitted by:Barbara Grossman
